    Spousal sponsorship

    Agree with the other poster, you can start now by applying outland (citizen abroad sponsoring). You will need to show some documentation of your 'intent to return' when applying. Since you already plan to go 'first', best is to advise IRCC as soon as you return to Canada (they will often follow...

    Can I get new passport while waiting for Sponsorship application ?

    Just apply. Lots of people have to renew or replace their passports during sponsorship. It's no big deal.

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    This is not your only problem. This is potentially a real problem. If you did not declare your wife, eg as unaccompanying, they could determine she was undeclared and then you would never be able to sponsor her. (You say 'mentioned' but don't know what that means) If you're not clear on this...

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    You're correct, you can do other. Your reasoning to apply outland is correct. And yes, outland applicants now eligible for OWP. I don't see any problem at all with declaring that she is living with you if you apply when she is in Canada with you. That's what most do. If that's the plan, that...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Agree that your depiction of this as a statutory right is correct - not a charter right, but a statutory one. Mea culpa for misphrasing. There are, I believe, multiple definitions of privilege. Including rights granted (eg right to vote); an exemption from a burden or requirement (e.g...

    Apply to Ouland process for common-law sponsorpship while living in canada?

    Short form: go ahead and apply outland. It's by no means a guarantee of it being faster, but won't hurt either way. [Many here think those estimated time differences between inland/outland are a sort of statistical mistake. But we don't know for sure.]

    Apply to Ouland process for common-law sponsorpship while living in canada?

    That's a reasonable point - but as we've had come up here many times, there is also not really a compelling reason for many to apply inland instead of outland. In the case of the OP here: already has a work permit, access to health care in most provinces therefore assured. So why apply inland...

    I don't believe this is true, or not exactly. Please show specifically where this right is enumerated and termed as such. Personally I think your framing is completely wrong: there's no reason to believe that something can't be both a right and a privilege. But privilege as used above is not a...

    Apply to Ouland process for common-law sponsorpship while living in canada?

    Ignore your consultant, fire them - immediately. Hint should be that the forms you fill already have this precise option (family class with principal applicant in Canada). I doubt they'd put that option on a form if it would not make sense to them.

    Immediate Travel after Oath

    Hard copy is better - you will receive it in person, and there won't be any delay in getting one electronically (which shouldn't happen, but can happen - rarely). (You can still submit for passport applications with a copy, because it's a new one. Don't worry about that though because they...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'd put differently: if you're a January applicant, there is no reason to think your file is delayed in any way. I'm generally not one to discourage people from getting GCMS but like calling every day, it may simply be you're overthinking at this stage.

    In previous months, it's often been the case that those who got test invite without fingerprint request got BG done sometime before the test invite or around that time. Not 100% consistent though.

    Immediate Travel after Oath

    At some point, you're going to have to look up a specific location and read the instructions. https://ircc.canada.ca/english/passport/map/map.asp For the ones I have looked at, all it says is proof of travel. There is no mention of a reason statement. If there is, saying you already have...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    They seem to do quite a lot of surveys recently - got one yesterday for the citizenship app portal and all that. As a rule of thumb: if the originating email is *.gc.ca , and has the english/french duality almost all govt emails have, it should be legit. BUT: -make sure you look at the actual...

    Does it matter the location in which we submit the passport?

    I don't know of any reason to doubt it. It seems your spouse is only travelling for 4-8 weeks and IRCC doesn't seem to strict about the 'submit within 30 days' thing. The fact you wrote by webform and got a call means at least the webform you wrote is on file. If I were paranoid and wanted to...

    Is my application on hold because of my wife's application?

    If you applied together, yes, they are held until they are both ready. That's what it means.

    If PRTD application under H&C considerations is rejected

    As far as I'm aware the passport is requested only if the decision is positive.
